As, in our present passage, so in 1 Kings 19. 8, the name "Horeb" is used following- the 'de- eignation "the .mountain of God." In this and subsequent lessons we shall assume that Mount Sinai is somewhere near the southern point of the peninsula between the Gulf of Akabah, and not fay from the northern end of the „Red Sea itself. It has been suggested by some Mod- ern scholars that the mountain, the exact location of which has never been determined, should rather be sought farther' to the northeast in the hill country of Seir, north of the Gulf of .Akabah. The burden of proof, 'however, lies with those who question the traditional site, -which still has the support of many of the best 014 Testament schol- ars. 2.

Draw not nigh hither -Moses is reminded of the natural unfit- ness of man to abide in the imme- diate presence of Jehovah. This truth God patiently sought to' teach his people by such commands as the one given to Rosa:3 later in the presence of the people near this same mountain: "And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into- the mount, or touch the border of it" (Exod. 19. 1e).

Who am I l -Once Moses had been a prince in Egypt. Now for' forty *years he had been ti lonely I shepherd of the wilderness.

With this feet Moses, was certainly ac- quainted, andhe seems to antici- pate that when he brings to the Ffelarette it megage frein the God of their fathers they may conclude that he, .too, had a pronpr name, and may wish tositnew that name. 14. I AM THAT I AM-41argin, "I AM BECAUSE I AM," 01' "I AM WHO AM," or "I WILL BE THAT I, WILL BE."

This longer section of the narrative, contains further details concerning Moses's consciousness of his own unfitness to Undertake the important task about to be laid upon him and the promises and signs by which he was finally per- suaded to undertake the mission. The entire passage, should. be read in preparation for class discussion. GAMBLING IN ENGLAND. • - - Atahorities- Gravely Concerned, to Stop Betting Evil. • The spread of .gambling among the English people, both men and women, is causing serious and growing eo.neern. No measures yet have been devised to stop the ha- bit, which rapidly is beemning more and more of it menace. On all big racea practically everybody, from the newsboy on the street to the peer in his motor, has eomething SO his favorite horse, and even on the everyday_ race an immense amount in the aggregate is weger- ed. Latterly it has been dieclosed that women working in offices end re.staorants hi the city haste be: come SS inveterate gamblers as the men and boys. Nowadays both men and women, during the alter - noon hours, ase &greeted from their work by their anxiety over the results of the races and employers , complain in vain. - • The House of Commore, with a view of eurbing this increase in the betting habit, passed it law prohibi- ting commission' agents from ac- cepting money on. a 'bet, but this was easily evaded by the age.nts carrying wagers on it credit eystem, settling once a, week. As the sys- tem works to -day any boy with a ,shilling to bet oti n horse can go to almost any newspaper seller .and get his money down. Anoth.er mea- sure to overcome this condition was met by opposition frime the work- ingnian, who claimed for himself the eame privileges and oppose:mi. ties accorded Ms wealthy neighber, who can wager as freely as fieslikes by either going to the track or tele- phoning Ms commiseion agent. The complaint is made also:that gambling is spoiling golf.' At most, ,of the big clubs to -day members will not play unless assured of a good side bet On the result.

IDEAL OF THE MORAL Its Very Esserlee Is Love, Which • tive Force In All the "Behold; these three years I come seeking fruit' on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down; why -cloth it ' cumber the • groundV-Luke Here is the conclusion of one of the most significant of the parables of Jesus, Aecordieg lo the story, " a certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard," and year after year ''he came seeking fruit thereon... Each year,- however, he had the same disappointing ,exper- ience of finding none, and at last, disgusted with the tree, he ordered his vine dressers to "cut it down." "Why," he 'asked, "cloth it cumber the ground1'' Now, it is to be noticed that there is nothing said in this parable about the fig tree not being a per- fectly good tree. It was not pois: onous or noxious, It wasmot with- ered, or gnarled, or undersized. Indeed, if we are to'brusb the story, it was so excellent a, specimen, so far as its attributes as a, tree were concerned, that each year its own- er expected to see its branches lad- en with figs. There was nothing at 'all that was actually bad about the tree. The trouble was that there was nothing that was •' Positively -Good.- It failed in its on.e specific .rniision of bringing forth fruit. Its room was more valuable than its pres- ence. Now, here do we have a striking illustration of one of the most orig- inal characteristics, of the teaching of Jesus -namely, its emphasis up - LIFE IS the Most Posi- World on the positive character of good - nets. All too frequently is good- ness interpreted in purely negative terms, as the act of avoiding cer- tain things which the world has agreed to regard as evil. The good , .man is the man who does not steal, lie, kill, commit adultery, covet, and so on through all the melan- choly catalogue of "Thou shalt nets." To avoid these sins, we have be,en told, it to attain to the ideal of the moral life. Hence is the world crowded with men and women who regard themeelvee as wholly good simply because they have never done anything that wee: bed. Like the rich young mau, they can boast that they have kept., all the commandtnents from their youth up, and therefore they think themselves Entitled to Eternal Life. Not so, however, if we are to trust the teaehing of the Nazarene 'Jesus' standard is positive, and not negative at all. To Elio mind it is not enough that a man should Ifierete keep the commandments di- rected against moral offences of one kind and another. Beyond the "Thu shalt eet" in the greater commandment, "Thou shalt." Goodness, therefore, is a posi- tive thing. In telling the gory of the vineyard Jesus was only illus- • trating His, familiar statement in the Sermon on the Mount, -"Every good tree bringeth forth good. fruit . . . Every tree that beareth not good fruit ifi hewn down and cast into the fire." -Rev, John Haynes Holmes. MR. ARTHUR MEIGHEN. Canada's New Solioitor-General Is Earnest laid Strenuous. Arthur Meighen, the new Sella - tor -General, was one of the few earnest young men, on the Govern- ment, Aids, who had it chance to dis- tinguieh themselves at the last strenuous Parliamentary ses.sion. Born in 1876, the new ,Solieiter- General is only 37, years old. In appeazarace he koks alinest absurd- ly • young wthen pibting his legal knewledge and power of argument ageinst the veterans of Parliament. Bali he has it power of eleer think- ing and foreeful expression that wins , him respeet and attention, ,end ib rarest be confessed thee in the Mr, Arthur Meighen. Solicitor -General for Cm:atlas closure, debate his knowledge of the . . subject, he citations of precedents and of English Parliamentary prac- tice, and his general array of fags was very convincing. Mr. Meighen is a banieter, and his keel training hes developed a naturaully keen, analytical meld. He reads history and precedent with a, marveltous industry, retain- ing the points he needs in debate and marshalling theni without, he.si- tat:ion or the slightest delay. In the Houseosometimes his desk, his seat, wad the desk of his neighbors 011 each side would be piled high with volumes tit atiunorisma, erteh ono with paper marks inserted. When the time came to read a quotation, the legal -minded young member for Portage let Prairie put his finger on the place at once, -It reminded one of the power and (1eXiie,l'iLy tOt or- gan player develops in handling his notes and stops. What would io ,ether hands inevitably prove * dry, laborious speech is, in the hands of Arthur Meighen, a quick -fired, per- Sistent, keenlyaromed, /taut precisely quoi,ed erghment, delivered with spirit and with life. And hie argu- ments are not eophietical. Ife gets et the facts end uses teem with greet effect. In hi.s, pasaagos with the wily De. Pageley end other vet - of debate, Arthur Meighen didn't comsi off second best. The young lawyer has a, brilliant way of going inclignentey at the specious .ar gumeTnit, and boring it bole through it with the forefin.gerof <me hand, the ether keeping the place in his hook of reference the meanwhile.

LEARN TO TRINE. Most of Us Are Asleep as twit Largo Part of Our Ability. A fault with most of us is that • we never learn to think. Thousands of men, lacking a goocr education, practically throw anvae precieus hours because they never learn to think. Systematic thinking is the best possible discipline. Happy is the youth that has formed the fixed habit of self-improvements thee is always trying to make .himself -4 little better prepared for his op- portunity when it eomes. Tell me how a young man uses his little ragged edges of time after his day's work is done, and what, he is re- volving in his mind at every oppor.- tainity, and I will tell you what that young man's future will be, says a writer. Thousands of persoro have, in their spare moments, through sys- =tematic courses ef reading and .study furnished by some of our splendid correspondence schools obtained a 'better education than have many that have gone through College. The trouble with young people is not that they do not possess success qualities, but thee in most of them the qualities are latent, inactive. There is now and then a ina,n that 'gets thoroughly aroused. We de- velop only a small percentage of .darselves-just enough to solve the bread and better question. The best locomotive • ever built would not move a trala an inch without the energy of the coal, thc oil, or the electricity to propel it. It is not enough to have great qual- ities. They must be utilieed. Abd- ity is worth only vhir,1: it achieves, and the finest ability in Ile world will never achieve anything unless that does thiligs.
